Kona Coffee Tour: Roast your Own Coffee

Out of the many processes that take place before coffee ends up poured into your cup, roasting is probably the most elusive. This is because it is a complex process involving a careful application of heat to the raw beans. The heat transforms the makeup of the green coffee (things like sugars, acids and proteins) into different aromas that end up impacting the taste of each coffee batch. The roasting process brings out aromas like malts, nuts, berries, and even chocolate. The roasting process is truly one of the most important (and impressive) steps of the coffee process. A Kona coffee tour that focuses on roasting can help you learn and appreciate the many steps and the complexities of this process, ensuring you never take that first flavorful sip for granted! Book Now!
